The five-repetition sit-to-stand test has been validated and is used primarily in pulmonary medicine and cardiology, and has recently been shown to be a useful tool for the objective assessment of functional impairment in patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. The goal of this study is to assess the possibility of supervised and unsupervised at-home-assessment.
